Zenith Provides Update Regarding Extension of its Filing Calendar

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zenith Capital Corp. ("Zenith" or the "Company") today announces that, further to its September 17, 2020 press release, it continues to expect to file its annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2020 and related management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Annual Filings") on or before October 12, 2020.

Furthermore, the Company also continues to expect to file its interim financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended July 31, 2020 (collectively, the "Interim Filings") on or about October 30, 2020.

The Company confirms that the management cease trade order ("MCTO"), that the Company previously announced it was seeking, was granted by its principal regulator, the Alberta Securities Commission, in connection with the late filing of the Interim Filings. The MCTO prohibits the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company from trading in securities of the Company until the Interim Filings are filed and the MCTO is revoked but does not affect the ability of other investors to trade in the Company's securities.

The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under National Policy 12-203 ? Management Cease Trade Orders by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases so long as it remains in default of filing the Interim Filings.

Zenith also confirms there have been no undisclosed material business developments, since its most recent news release on September 17, 2020 regarding the status of its continuous disclosure filings, that have not been otherwise disclosed by Zenith by way of news release.
